CNFUSERS
Version 1.06 5/12/92
Installation:
The program may be run from any drive and/or directory. HOWEVER
the current DOS default drive and directory must contain the
PCBoards PCBOARD.DAT file. This can be accomplished by
installing
the program in that directory, or by installing it in a directory
which is part of the DOS PATH.
Use:
At the DOS command prompt, simply type CNFSTAT. The program uses
PCBOARD.DAT to determine the location of all the necessary file
names. It then begins reading the USERS.INF file to find the
location of the MarkMail conference information and builds a
table for each conference and reads and tallies conference usage.
When it reaches the end of the USERS file, it begins reporting
information on the number of users for each conference. The
current
version counts any registration (Y, YA, S) as a conference user.
Report output is directed to PRN:
Update history:
1.00 Initial attempt with unformatted report data and minimal
error checking
1.01 Changed open statements to allow file sharing and formatted
report output and improved error checking.
1.02 Fixed page numbering, added more file sharing logic and
error checking.
1.03 Added support for Qmail4
1.04 Testing on file locking failures
1.05 Removed file locking and added error checking on reads.
1.06 Streamline code and added visual activity indicator while
reading the USERS file
Future improvements:
I'm just guessing here, but
. Include ability to handle additional TPA mail doors
. Multiple conferences on a line
. Configuration options either command line or .CFG
file
. Add a report of NO-USE conferences
. Allow output to a file instead of printer
